“Viewers
Confront Larry About His Views on Race”
Today’s
guests are faithful viewers who have watched Larry’s
shows dealing with racism and want to confront
him based on his opinions. Find out what transpired
below:
Alisha is a former guest who appeared
on “Raising
Kids to Be Racist” on November 4th, 2004. On
the show, Larry and Alisha debated her decision to
teach her son to despise and distrust white people.
Viewers Sabrina and Laquisa took issue with Larry
for his interaction with Alisha on that show, saying
he treated Alisha unfairly and owes her an apology.

A loyal viewer, Ray has come to
the conclusion that Larry is an “Uncle Tom.” He believes
that Larry’s opinions are clouded by his success
and that he is not in touch with the black community.
Venita also feels that Larry has failed to listen
to the black community, particular former guests
Large Pad and Fat Tone. She believes that Larry judged
these young rappers without listening to their real-life
plights.
When Rajeeyah saw Debbie on
the show “Why
Shouldn’t We Use Racial Profiling?” she
was so disturbed that she immediately wrote to
Larry in hopes of confronting Debbie. Rajeeyah
says Debbie’s support of racial profiling
is striking even more terrorist fear in the already
vulnerable American psyche. As a Muslim, Rajeeyah
is offended by Debbie’s tendency to make
generalizations about all Muslims based on the
actions of a few.
